ilk oyuna ek olarak sonradan çıkmış bağlantılı bir oyun. oynanış yine aynı sadece 5-6 tane ek harita gelmiş başka değişen pek bir şey yok.
为什么选择不一样剧情还是一样的我还期待有什么无限不死的时间线呢
"Shadow Tactics: Aiko's Choice" is a short DLC for Shadow Tactics that was released as if it was a full game instead of being a DLC. Shadow Tactics (and this "DLC" for it) is a stealth action game with RPG elements designed for XBox and Playstation and ported to PC. Gameplay consists of stealthing around, avoiding combat, using special abilties of your multiple characters to distract/stealth kill your enemies and hide the bodies. Kinda like Hitman but with a vague and unrealistic Japanese historical theme and a top down view styled basically off the ancient 1990's WW2 stealth action game series, Commandos. Which is not to say this is completely terrible, it's got AAA production values, but also, for a 5 year old DLC masquerading as a full AAA game, it's carrying the same kind of pricing which is where the key problem lies. The plot follows one of the characters from Shadow Tactics, a lady ninja, Aiko, who performs her ninja assassin work, blending seamlessly into the urban environment by wearing a hot pink anime girl outfit. I told you it was inauthentic... I guess we can be kind and suggest the game is "Japanese adjacent". And I think that's pretty typical of the plot here, it reads off as a weak anime fan-fiction, which is worse than we'd expect from something being pushed as a AAA product. On the upside, the game does feature customisable controls and resolution, so at least some of the basic, minimum requirements have been met. Unfortunately there's a number of other technical defects and shortcomings which contribute to the game being difficult to recommend to gamers. Because this is designed for consoles, it carries a number of deliberate design deficiencies. Compromises were made to cater to the inferior console gaming appliances that the game was designed for. These are unfortunate compromises and limitations that PC gamers shouldn't be forced to accept, but it's evident that PC was a second thought for the console-centric developers. The game is deficient as a result of these choices, and would have been so much better without the handicaps that designing games for consoles forces upon a game. Once more, console peasants have made gaming worse for everyone. The game has surprisingly decent graphics, the developers seem to understand the old axiom that gaming is a visual medium, so this gets a pass. Unfortunately there's other problems that make this difficult for gamers to want to part with their time and money. Let's talk about pricing and the actual value this has for gamers. Is this game one of the best of the 140,000+ games on Steam? Shadow Tactics: Aiko's Choice has the greedy, cash grab price of $20 USD, for which you could easily get any number of older AAA games. For comparison, the $20 asking price for this game could get you games like "New World", "Stray" or "Detroit: Become Human". Quality, professionally made games like those are frequently on sale cheaper than this. Unfortunately Steam reviewers aren't presented with a "Maybe" option... if they did, that's what I'd choose. This isn't a completely bad game, but it's also not one of the best. As always, if you read my review and you can overlook the negatives I've called out, or they just aren't important to you, then by all means go ahead and buy this.
Mas Shadow Tactics, mas placer.
One of my favourite games, as good as the first one. Wish there were more missions.
Recht schwer, gleichzeitig nicht schlecht. Empfehlung!
好玩,细糠
完美继承前作,就是篇幅较少,没有尽兴。
A good continuation of the main game, it does exactly the same things right and plays well too.
